Nzeogwu Coup Meant to Install Awolowo Prime Minister of Nigeria -Dr Ezeife in Speech at Igbo-Israeli Summit



  [ Masterweb Reports ] - The failed Major Nzeogwu led coup was meant to install Chief Obafemi Awolowo as Prime Minister of Nigeria.  This was stated by a core progressive and former governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife at the second day of the Igbo-Israeli Economic Summit titled South East Youth Economic Summit 2016 (SEYES 2016) which ended in Enugu yesterday. Dr Ezeife while clarifying further stated that the Nzeogwu coup of 1966 was never an Igbo coup.

According to Ezeife “it is not true that Igbos plotted the 1966 coup. The coup was planned by some elements within the military disenchanted with the drift of Nigeria who felt that Awolowo was in the best position to move Nigeria forward. The problem was that the execution of the coup got awry at some axis and everybody now claimed it was Igbo coup”

 He stated further that “the coup failed and General Ironsi carved  provinces in Nigeria to help each group govern themselves better. They said that he was running a unitary system and killed him, yet Nigeria s practicing the same system for which Ironsi died”

Dr Ezeife while responding to question on the issue of menace of Fulani herdsmen said that the there is no need for grazing reserve even in the north. He stated that there are different ranching methods that will ensure, just like the green house, that some grass could be grown within the same ranch using high tech mechanisms and used to feed the cattle without disturbing anybody.
